[Thespiritexpress] Drum Circle

[Jima Abbott]

Thank-you Ron(& Toni) for your doing the drumming circles.  It was always a highlight of my month to immerse myself in the journey and just see what would show up.  “Perhaps" the drum will call to you again to do a Spirit House drum circle. Maybe an annual or biannual gathering. 

With much love and thanks for all that you give to this community.
